Swagger (Japanese: いばる Swagger) is a non-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation II.

Effect

Swagger raises the target's Attack two stages and confuses it. Should the target already be confused, Swagger will still raise its Attack. Pokémon with the ability Own Tempo are immune to the side effect. Because the target's Attack increases, they will receive more damage if they hurt themselves.

By move tutor

In Emerald and XD: Gale of Darkness

All Pokémon that can learn moves from move tutors in Generation III can learn Swagger.

In the anime

The user enrages the foe into confusion. However, it also sharply raises the foe's Attack stat.
Pokémon Method
User First Used In Notes
Politoed Politoed crosses its arms and looks at the opponent in an intimidating manner while glowing red, confusing the opponent and making them stronger as well. While confused, the opponent's eyes glow red.

Trivia

  • In Generation V, some Pokémon that were capable of learning Swagger through breeding in previous generations are now unable to do so. This is probably due to infinite usage of TMs.
